JY1 was in my opinion one of the greatest embassador for our worldwide hobby. I am proud to hear him several times on the air. One time I heard him calling cq on a local repeater close to the city of Bonn during his official visit to Germany. I never get the chance to talk to him on the air. pay attention to one of his QSOs to the shuttle with Owen, W5LFL. Some special pages, dedicated to JY1.
